Sun Stereo delivers a hybridization of organic and electronic
elements with Beatlesque vocal harmonies, electronic
soundscapes, nu-age story book lyrics, and a funk your face off
horn section. In the first year of existence, they have developed a
fierce following and are quickly establishing themselves in the
Midwest as a must see live show, reminiscent of a wedding
reception on acid sans the chicken dance. Recently, they
performed at Pygmalion Music Festival, Mumford & Sons
Gentlemen of the Road Tour in Troy, OH (second year at
GOTR), and Summer Camp Music Festival. Currently, they are
finishing their 2nd full length album, expected out in the Spring
of 2014, and are dominating crowds with their infectious
anthems across the Midwest.
Seeking New Market Opportunities
After having the thrill of winning over fans throughout
University of Illinois’ Urbana-Champaign, the band is
now ready to push its boundaries. Sun Stereo has
played multiple Midwest markets, including success
in Chicago and Summer Camp Music Festival.
Equipped with a show to get your feet moving and
your hearts thumping, Sun Stereo is ready to break
into new markets everywhere.

From the opening keys of Rogue Satellite, you have a
feeling that you're immediately about to get
lifted…This is one of the more creative releases,
unlike anything else around really, and that's due for
some praise. – Smile Politely
Kelly McMorris fronts an irresistible vocal mix that
propels songs conjuring the Beatles or an all-night
road trip with the windows down, stereo blasting. At
work on a full-length follow-up to 2012’s Rogue
Satellite, the jazz-infused group delivers live shows
that quake with coiled energy. – Krannert Center
A brass section that is as tight as a snare drum, and
handmade beats interact with Kelly's mostly perfect
songwriting and creativity to make one of the best live
acts around. – Smile Politely
Sun Stereo is a 6 piece band hailing from Urbana, Illinois,
consisting of 1 theatrical flunky and 5 jazz junkies. After
graduating with a Musical Theater Composition degree from
University of Illinois, Kelly McMorris (music, lyrics, vocals,
keys) has been writing music, performing in a plethora of
projects, and all the while canvassing the gutters and bowels of
churches, saloons, and opera houses for the perfect concoction
of thugs and miscreants to transpire his musical vision. In 2010,
he reunited with Jesse Greenlee (drums, cymbals, vocals) and
began fleshing out the prenatal bones of the first full length
album, Rogue Satellite. After it's completion, they tapped the
veins of the University of Illinois Jazz program to procure the
remaining pieces (Josh Houchin, bass, vocals; Adrian Barnett,
bari sax; Euan Edmonds, trombone; Kevin Bourassa, Trumpet;
Jon Griffith, bari sax) and bring the album's nuances and
grandiose intricacies to life on the stage.
